The Elder Scrolls Online will run at a native 4K resolution on PS4 Pro, Bethesda has announced.

That’s slightly different to other PS4 Pro-enhanced titles, which are expected to hit a “4K quality resolution” by using a technique called Checkerboard Rendering.

Alternatively, if you’re planning on sticking to a 1080p TV, you’ll see some “increased graphical fidelity” when playing the game on a PS4 Pro.

“When the PlayStation 4 Pro launches on 10th November 2016, The Elder Scrolls Online will be immediately playable in native 4K resolution, whether purchased new, or with existing game discs,” Bethesda says.

“Since the game was originally designed for a wide range of PC specifications, ZeniMax Online Studios was able to scale up the presentation alongside the scaled up power of the PlayStation 4 Pro. For players, this means that if you play The Elder Scrolls Online on the PlayStation 4 Pro with a 1080p HD television, you will experience increased graphical fidelity; if a player uses a 4K monitor, the game will automatically run in 4K.”
